I did. My daughter missed it but said she found it scheduled to run again this coming Saturday on CNN.

It's about Paul Fronczak, a man in his 50s, who searches for his true identity.
When he was 10, he happened onto a trunk in the family house containing old news clippings about a newborn baby boy kidnapped from the hospital by a woman dressed as a nurse. An FBI search for the baby went on for a couple of years, and then one day a little boy who looked to be around 2 years old was found abandoned in a stroller in front of a store. He had a cold - and a black eye - but seemed okay otherwise. A search went on to find out who he was, and finally it was assumed he was the stolen baby, and the baby's parents welcomed him as their son.
When Paul, then 10, found the news clippings, he asked his mom about them, and she told him they were about him and that he'd been stolen when he was two days old. She said he'd been left in a stroller about two years later, and now they were reunited - and she didn't want to discuss it anymore, ever.
But years later when DNA technology became available and Gen Search got to be a thing, Paul began his quest to try to find out if he was really the stolen baby, and if he wasn't, who his biological parents were.
The quest got complicated when he learned he was not the stolen baby. He began to search for him (and found him) AND for his own biological family. He discovered that he himself had a twin sister named Jill, who had disappeared. Their biological parents were apparently alcoholics and neglected and abused the children. Paul is now searching for his sister, Jill, and on his Facebook page he posts updates on his investigation.
